New Mexico judge gets death threats after granting bail to Muslim compound members

TAOS, N.M. (Reuters) – A New Mexico judge received death threats and Islamophobic abuse on Tuesday a day after she granted bail to five Muslims charged with child abuse and accused of training children at their compound to carry out attacks, court officials said.

Police raided the compound in Taos County on Aug. 3 following a tip-off that children held there were starving. They found 11 children in need of food and water, and three days later unearthed the body of a toddler.

In an order published on Tuesday, district Judge Sarah Backus said prosecutors had produced evidence that was troubling and unusual but failed to show the defendants abused the children and were a threat to society if released on bail.

One caller on Tuesday told Backus her throat would be slit while another said he wished someone would smash her head, New Mexico courts spokesman Barry Massey said.

Backus was bombarded with abuse and criticism on Twitter, and received hundreds of calls and emails, most of which referred to her using terms like Islamic terrorism sympathizer, Massey said.

Backus closed her court and the Taos County courthouse went into lockdown after threats of violence against all staff.

Prosecutors alleged the dead toddler was a severely ill boy abducted from Georgia by his father, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, the son of a prominent New York imam. Prosecutors said the boy died at the compound in February as Ibn Wahhaj tried to heal him through prayer.

Prosecutors allege Wahhaj gave firearms training to two teenage boys at the compound to attack corrupt institutions.

New Mexico’s Republican Governor Susana Martinez slammed Backus’ bail decision in a statement, saying the state’s Supreme Court had been dictating pretrial release for all kinds of dangerous criminals.

The five defendants – two men, their wives and a sister – must wear GPS ankle bracelets once released on $20,000 bail each and are not allowed back to the compound, Backus ruled.

Their 11 children are in protective care and the defendants may visit them once released, Backus said.

The case has split the Taos County community between those who believe the group was involved in a failed attempt to live off the grid, and others who fear they were hatching a plot to attack schools, banks and police, as prosecutors alleged.

There’s a murderer in the bunch, said Larry Salazar, 67, a rancher who lives about 2 miles from the high-desert compound. What are we going to do to protect ourselves? Where are they going to be going to?.

Another resident, named Quincy, who requested his full name not be used, said he didn’t think the defendants were dangerous, especially when they came in here using their real names and introduced themselves to every possible person who was their neighbour.

Ibn Wahhaj has not entered a plea but the other four adults have plead not guilty. Wahhaj must remain in custody as he still faces a Georgia arrest warrant for the abduction of his son.

Ibn Wahhaj’s wife Jany Leveille, 35, from Haiti, was taken into custody by immigration officials on Tuesday, according to the Taos County Sheriff’s Office.
